The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI:
It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

BREAKING: Labour will formally recognise trans women as ‘men’ tomorrow. It means trans women will be banned from all women shortlists and all Labour women’s groups. Revolting. The party’s relationship with LGBT+ is over.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

Just had an email from Trailfinders about holidays to the USA. They forgot to mention the joys of arrest and detention without trial at the border, being turned away for no reason and the delight of getting to visit an El Salvadorian prison or Guantanamo Bay.

Remember, it’s okay for
radio, cable, local news, newspapers, podcasts, youtube, facebook, and twitter to be right wing echo chambers.
But IT IS NOT OKAY for a new app that’s starting to gain traction to be a left wing echo chamber.
NO NO NO NOT FAIR!

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Blackrock is one of the most corrupt, anti-competition and evil corporations in the world.
It rakes in profit from Private Healthcare, Fossil Fuel, Weapons Manufacturing and its Landlord Empire, by buying up all the providers in an area and then forcing prices up.
